Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Jim Herberg, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: CIP Master Plan Level of Service
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only Item
SUMMARY
• The Orange County Sanitation District is currently preparing an updated Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Master Plan Update that will replace the 1999 Strategic
Plan and the 2002 Interim Strategic Plan Update.
• It is anticipated that most of the projects in our present CIP will continue in the new
Master Plan. However, there are six areas where potential changes to the level of
service provided by the Sanitation District could result in the new CIP projects and
increase user rates.
• Staff is recommending that the Board of Directors (Board) participate in the
workshops to review the Sanitation District's levels of service which could impact the
user and connection rate programs.
• The proposed levels of service to be considered by the Board include:
(1) participation in future phases of the Groundwater Replenishment System
(GWRS); (2) odor control; (3)air quality emissions; (4) biosolids; (5)site security and
aesthetics; and (6) disinfection.
• The results of the workshops will be used for the foundation for the Sanitation
District's next Capital Facilities Master Plan.
• The Board workshop process will be discussed at the Steering Committee meeting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Setting a "Level of Service' involves an understanding of the complex issues associated
with future rate impacts and other long-term consequences. Staff is proposing a series
of workshops designed to assist the Board with this task. The goal is to engage the
Board and set the primary levels of service for the Sanitation District.
The Sanitation District's staff has started working on the next Master Plan for Capital
Facilities. This document will layout the future CIP through the Year 2030. Major rate
program impacts generally come from the agency increasing levels of service. For
example,the agency will be spending over$600 million to move to secondary treatment
standards. The results of the proposed workshops will give Sanitation District staff
much clearer direction in preparing the Master Plan. This should significantly reduce
the time and effort to prepare the next Master Plan for Capital Facilities.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Michael Gold, Legislative Affairs Liaison
SUBJECT: Legislative, Policy and Political Update
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only
SUMMARY
This report is the monthly update from Washington, D.C. and Sacramento highlighting lobbyists'
activities, OCSD legislative priorities and other information of interest to the Steering
Committee.
PRIOR COMMITTEEIBOARD ACTIONS
None
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Design-build legislation update
As reported last month, SB 645 (Correa and Tran) cleared its first committee on a 4-0 vote and
is awaiting action on the Senate Floor. Also since last month, some cities have taken action in
support of SB 645 including: Brea, Fountain Valley, La Palma and Placentia.
The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) continue to oppose SB 645, as well as every
other design-build bill moving through the Legislature. ABC requested a meeting with staff to
discuss issues and clarify positions, but cancelled the meeting
Other priority legislation
The District continues to vigorously oppose SB 55 (Florez) dealing with land application of
sewage sludge. While the other has amended the bill and has stated his willingness to work
with various parties, the intent still seems to be banning (or making it extremely difficult) the land
application of biosolids.
CASA has been working with Senator Florez, as the bill appears likely to pass out of the
Senate; however it may have a more difficult time in the Assembly. Currently, the bill is on the
suspense file in the Senate.
AB 800 (Lieu) is an attempt by a Los Angeles area legislator to correct some of the issues
dealing with reporting of sewage spills. A few months back, Los Angeles received some press
attention when an audit revealed that a number of sewage spills went unreported.
While the matter was specific to Los Angeles and has not occurred in Orange County, Mr. Lieu's
bill attempts to apply a statewide solution to local problem.
Form No.M-1.1 agenda RadM-SC
Reused.Otg601

Book Page 9
Staff has been working with our lobbyists and CASA to find reasonable solutions. Our current
position is opposed unless amended.
Finally, you may want to be aware of a SB 343 (Negrete-McCloud) proposing changes to the
Brown Act. The bill states that all materials related to an agenda action item must be made
available to the public at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting. Any action item that does
not provide all materials within this deadline cannot be acted upon by the legislative body
(unless taken up as an urgency item).
Staff has been working with CASA to clarify a few issues, mostly related to providing additional
or updated information. The League of Cities and CSAC are also working with the author.

John Freshman, Troutman Sanders Public Affairs Group
During the month of April, consultants continued working on two identified priorities: 1) FY08
appropriations for Secondary Treatment construction upgrade and 2) SARI Line cost allocation.
The 2008 request for$6 million to assist with secondary treatment upgrades was submitted on
time to the appropriate members of the delegation. During the April conference call, the
consultants mentioned that OCSD continues to enjoy support from the delegation for the
funding request but it is tempered by limited funds and the uncertainty of the new earmark rules.
On a related note, we are encouraged about a change within the House Committee on
Appropriations where Representative Ken Calvert has temporarily filled Representative John
Doolittle's seat. Doolittle stepped aside because of questions surrounding an ongoing FBI
investigation into his wife's consulting practices. Calvert's role on the committee enhances
prospects for the District's request of support. His junior and caretaker status may create
challenges to his ability to urge full funding of projects and we suggest the District contact his
local director, Jo-Lyn Murphy, to discuss opportunities for the Congressman to advocate on
behalf of the request when the committee considers funding decisions later this year.
On the WRDA front, prospects for Senate floor action appear sound. The Committee on
Environment and Public Works Chairman, Barbara Boxer, reached agreement with her
Republican counterpart to move a scaled down bill to account for budget issues raised by the
Congressional Budget Office. This means that conference between the House and Senate
could occur sometime in June.
On both the spending and WRDA fronts, the President and his senior advisors have signaled
intent to veto these bills if they exceed his budget request, which is currently the case. Despite
the White House protests, it seems highly unlikely that WRDA will be vetoed given the
anticipated lopsided vote of support in the Senate that will mirror the House vote earlier this
year. On the spending side of the budget, the Democratic budget leadership appears prepared
to move a budget calling for an additional $20 billion in domestic spending. This may attract a
veto, but establishes opportunities to support the District's secondary treatment request.

The following summarizes the key points for the District's pending legislative initiatives:
• FY 08 Appropriations: Both the House and Senate spending committees are preparing
for budget markups. The House Subcommittee on Interior and Environment is
anticipated to begin work shortly after May 21. The Senate subcommittee is likely to
start its work in June after House approval. In each case, there is a good prospect for
some additional spending. The newest wrinkle in the earmarking process is a decision
by the House leadership to delay markups until the conference committee meets. The
Senate appears prepared to follow its usual practice of identifying high priority needs
during the markup process, which means that the potential exists for no earmarks
identified in the House bill prior to conference committee deliberations later this summer.
Regardless of how this evolves, the President appears poised to veto the spending
measure if it exceeds his budget request that envisioned significant spending reductions.
In anticipation of this situation, we believe that it would be appropriate for the District to
consider a June visit to Washington to meet with the delegation to re-enforce the
importance of the project request.
• SARI Line: The decision to pursue an amendment to the House WRDA bill without
taking into consideration the impact of budget restrictions imposed on WRDA resulted in
a denial of the initial amendment request by the Rules Committee, despite strong
support from the delegation. According to committee staff, opposition was not related to
the project itself, but rather its cost. As a result, the District moved forward proposing an
alternative that would not carry a budget impact by simply stating the SARI would be
considered part of the local share of the Mainstem project. This approach was provided
to the Senate committee staff and they are reviewing the amendment for consideration
as part of the conference committee deliberations later this year.

Political Highlights
One of the top topics in Sacramento is the implementation of the infrastructure bonds. At the
beginning of the legislative session there were nearly 100 bills introduced that proposed to
implement a portion of the $42.7 billion dollars for infrastructure approved by the voters last
November. The first major legislative deadline for these bills to pass their first policy committee
was May 11. While many of the bills did not make this deadline, over 50 are still moving
through the process.
While it is still unclear as to which bills may become the preferred proposals amongst legislative
leadership for infrastructure bond implementation, some priorities are known. One major priority
of the Leadership is that the bond money not be earmarked to specific projects. Instead of
singling out projects for funding, as has been practiced on previous bond measures, the
Democrats have made it clear that they prefer to establish guidelines for competitive grants and
programs.
Further priorities of the Governor and the Legislature will become dearer after the May Revise
of the budget is released on May 14. The final tweaking of bond funds to be appropriated in the
budget will provide the Legislature a roadmap as to which programs are needed and which can
be delayed until next year. If funding for a specific program is not included in the budget, there
will be less pressure on the Legislature to define the parameters of the program and more
incentive to wait until next year to work out the details.

TPA has been aggressively working,over the past several months,with key staff and decision
makers to ensure that the needs of the OCSD will be addressed in any implementation
legislation. We have met several times with the key infrastructure bond implementation staff in
the office of the Senate President Pro Tem and the Speaker. Additionally, we have been
working hand-in-hand with specific members such as Senator Hannan and Assembly Member
Silva on the implementation of funds contained in Proposition 84 and Proposition 'IE for
subvention funding and wastewater infrastructure. We will also be working very closely with
District staff to secure feedback on the bond implementation legislative language so we can
ensure that we address the District's priorities while we continue to work with the various
stakeholders on implementing the infrastructure bonds.
